A variable is a letter representing a number (ex. 2a+8h=26 ..... a=5 & h=2 )

"Solving'' an inequality means finding all of its solutions. A "solution'' of an inequality is a number which when substituted for the variable makes the inequality a true statement.

Here is an example: Consider the inequality <span />

When we substitute 8 for x, the inequality becomes 8-2 > 5. Thus, x=8 is a solution of the inequality

2n-4 < 3n                                        
+4
2n+4-4<3n+4
2n<3n+4

<span> </span>


-3n
2n-3n<4
-n<4
/-1
n>-4

X will represent unknown
2x-4<3x
treat the < sign as a = sign
2x-4=3x
subtract 2x form both sides
-4=x
put the < sign back
-4<x
-4 is less than than x or
x is greater than -4

7x + 8y = 25 9x + 10y =35 elimination method please​
djverab [1.8K]

7x +8y = 25 ~~~....(i)\\\\9x +10y = 35~~~ ....(ii)\\\\\text{Multiply equation (ii) by}~ \dfrac 79 ~ \text{and do (ii) - (i):}\\\\\dfrac 79 (9x +10y) - (7x +8y) = \dfrac 79 (35) - 25\\\\\\\implies 7x +\dfrac{70y}9 - 7x -8y = \dfrac{245}9 -25\\\\\\\implies - \dfrac{2y}9 =  \dfrac{20}9\\\\\\\implies -2y =20\\\\\implies y =-10\\\\\text{Substitute}~ y = -10~ \text{in equation (i):}\\\\\\7x +8(-10) = 25\\\\\implies 7x  = 25 +80\\\\\implies 7x = 105 \\\\\implies x =15\\\\

\\\text{Hence}~ (x,y) = (15,-10)
